While WD-40 is good for some things it is relatively poor as a simple
lubricant. Your better choice is Silicon Spray.

I'm reopening this thread because I just looked in a catalog that has
been laying
here for a couple of weeks. I know some of the contributors to the list
are not

in the USA, but for those who are:

There are a whole batch of computer fans of all sizes listed in the
Marlin P. Jones
catalog, priced from under $2.00 to around $5.00 with one or two
higher. Some

readers might prefer to just replace the fan.

This is a very eclectic outfit: they have bits and pieces of electronic
overstock
in virtually any category you can think of, including computer power
supplies,
wall warts, relays, small tools, various kinds of connectors, etc.
Shipping is a bit

high, however.
look at: www.mpja.com

(I have no financial interest in Jones, and I don't have any relatives
working there.)
